NetBIOS proxy
Routers from ELSA offer a special feature for linking Microsoft peer-to-peer networks:
With the integrated routing of IP NetBIOS packets, the linking of Windows networks
becomes child's play. The remote stations relevant for the exchange of data are entered
in a list to ensure that not every NetBIOS packet results in the establishment of a
connection.
As a NetBIOS proxy, the router answers the queries for known workstations locally to
prevent connections from being established unnecessarily.
DNS server
The DNS server functionality of the router enables you to set up links between IP
addresses and names of computers or networks. The correct route can be directly
assigned in the event of queries for known computer names.
The DNS server can also access the name and IP information from the DHCP server and
the NetBIOS module.
The DNS server can also serve as an effective filter for the users in your local network.
Access to specified domains can be denied to individual computers or complete
networks.
